Update

Okay, after much fretting by the Cheeser about you know what, I finally got this email from my broker this morning:

"Excellent news, your mortgage has been offered. I have received the copy of the offer letter and will now review it to confirm everything is in order."

In other words, the valuation on the flat was fine and the bank are happy to lend us the money!!

Yes, yes, YESSSSSSSSSSS!!

Okay, we've still got to get through all the stuff with the solicitors, but that should just be paperwork and a formality.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!

Our first place to call our own!! I'm very excited ... and a fitting end to the week, I might add.

Okay, I'm off to crack open the bubbly. Celebrations are in order...

And thanks very much to all of you for your best wishes and for sending positive vibes through the blog-o-sphere. Obviously it worked!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!
